Ryan Gravenberch, from the bench to a key role at Liverpool

Ryan Gravenberch is undoubtedly enjoying the best season of his career so far. Arriving at Liverpool in 2023 from Bayern Munich for around €40 million, the 23-year-old Dutch midfielder has established himself as an indispensable player under Arne Slot.

Long considered just a rotation option, he has now stepped up to a whole new level. His performance in the derby win over Everton (2-1), capped by a stunning goal and a decisive assist, is the perfect example. Now, Liverpool are eager to secure his long-term future: his current contract runs until 2028, but the club is already looking to improve and extend it.

This contract gesture would also send a strong message from Liverpool: the commitment to keep their talents and prevent them from becoming easy targets for European giants like Real Madrid. It's a clear way to reinforce their sporting project and ensure Gravenberch remains a cornerstone of the club for years to come.
